    Just a suggestion for the ridge line. Make two ~4 inch continuous loops to larks head on the tarp ridge end points/D-rings. One with the wasp on it. The one without the wasp goes on one end, let's call it the right. The other, with the wasp, on the left. The Dutch hook gets brummeled on one end of the line to go around the tree and back to the loop on the D-ring. The other end goes around the the other tree and back to the wasp. Since down, lock in place, and tie a SHH. Run your line over or under the tarp, whichever you prefer. Hope this helps.

    Cheers

    That sounds like a very good way of doing it. When I ordered these, I think I had a way to do it in mind (surely I did have right? Or maybe I was just blinded by the bling?) Anyway, I'm going to try this.
    One quick question though, would you put the continuous loop through the hole in the tail of the wasp?

    Yes, run the zing-it through the wasp tail, and then splice the ends in. I have had really good luck using it this way on all of my tarps.

    Did it early this morning! Thanks! Now I've just got to find time to splice the Dutch clip into the end of my ridgeline...
    If I didn't have to work, I might actually get some stuff done! Lol

    This is pretty much how I did mine, except I use a Fleaz instead of a wasp. Sets up great, but after a 3 day hang in the cold, I had a nasty time trying to get the CRL (zing-it) out of the Fleaz. I'm thinking I can open up the slot a bit, but has any one else had this problem?

    My Dutch clip is a little tight going on and coming loose. I'm going to have to stretch mine out a little. Don't know about the fleaz as I have not used them.
